AB - Plant growth and development are a genetically
predetermined series of events but can change dramatically in response
to environmental stimuli, involving perpetual pattern formation and
reprogramming of development. The rate of growth is determined by cell
division and subsequent cell expansion, which are restricted and
controlled by the cell wall–plasma membrane–cytoskeleton continuum, and
are coordinated by intricate networks that facilitate intra- and
intercellular communication. An essential role in cellular signaling is
played by calcium ions, which act as universal second messengers that
transduce, integrate, and multiply incoming signals during numerous
plant growth processes, in part by regulation of the microtubule
cytoskeleton. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the
understanding of calcium-mediated regulation of microtubule-associated
proteins, their function at the microtubule cytoskeleton, and their
potential role as hubs in crosstalk with other signaling pathways.
